WEDNESDAY, 6. A Dogma test for the Theologians and an ex- amination in Ethics for the Philosophers concluded the scholastic year. Suiicitf In the evening the Most Reverend Fumasoni-Biondi was form- ally welcomed to St. Vincent's by the entire community. THURSDAY, 7. The Feast of Corpus Christi was celebrated with Solemn High Mass presided over by the Most Rev. Fumasoni-Biondi. Immediately after the Mass, Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament was given by the Most Rev. Apostolic Delegate at an altar erected on the Archabbey lawn. Then, noon-busses-farewells. Another year was over! SEPTEMBER, 1928 THURSDAY, 13. lVlany new faces were noticed among the semi- narians as singly, or in groups, they arrived to begin a new year of intellectual endeavor. FRIDAY, 14. Disregarding their fellow-seminarians' fatigue and weariness the hard-hearted wakers, as heretofore, so now also, performed their cruel duty this morning. Ray Berg cannot see the idea of arousing a man in the middle of the night, but as Mr. Marzhauser so paternally assures him, he has all year to learn. SUNDAY, 16. The feature of the initial meeting of the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society, was the admission of new members. In response to the repeated requests of speech, Mr. Carmody, among others, fresh from the dear old sod of Erin, expressed his appreciation and delight at being admitted into the society. MONDAY, 17. The' seminarians are once again accustoming themselves, if slowly, nevertheless surely, to the routine of the Seminary. THURSDAY, 20. The Staff of Volume XI held its first meeting. If the enthusiasm and co-operation manifested by its members can be regarded as a criterion, this year's Symposium will un- doubtedly surpass all previous editions in merit. 513711
